There seems to be a correlation between being wealthy and being a thoughtless sociopath.
Who’da thunk
It’s almost like pathologically hoarding wealth and power far beyond any personal practicality correlates with specific mental defects and personality disorders!
Every time someone pitches the argument that billionaires got there through sheer intelligence and hard work, I want to scream “Have you seen anything this person has wrote or said in public? They are barely coherent! If you asked them where they are right now, they probably wouldn’t know because they pay someone to babysit them through their day.”
Back in the day the super rich couldn’t bother to write any better, but at least they had the decency to hire a secretary so their messages were even somewhat legible. Seems like the habit of dictating your messages has all but vanished, even in professional contexts.
Maybe the 14-16 year olds they now “hire” are too young to write professionally, compared to the 18-20 somethings of yesteryears.
Hey hello there I had never heard yesteryears and it is exquisite.
Thank you very much
I think I encountered it first in (old school) Runescape, where one of the songs in the soundtrack is named yesteryear. That was back before the old school distinction, when I was still in elementary.
It’s one of the first tracks you hear when you start playing, in case you’re not familiar.
The rich aren’t better they are just better positioned.
If I write a crappy email, I get reprimanded by the boss, or I lose a contract, or people just stop emailing me.
If a billionaire writes a crappy email, their correspondent still wants their money.
they simply don’t have to care. in a similar way where jobs was wearing jeans and black shirt while everyone around him was saluting in suits. he didn’t have to.
also these messages were supposed to be private, lot of our signal/whatsapp chats also look less professional than work emails.
Were these emails encrypted? I thought that regular email is basically public, like sending a postcard. Or is that not the case anymore?
iirc it’s tls secured between client and server and again between servers. So no e2ee, but if you trust your provider, everything should be good.
iirc law enforcment regularly forces providers to reveal content of client’s mailboxes.
I can’t tell if it’s an encoding issue or just spastic.
It is an encoding issue from older mail servers.
well, some of it is, like the =, but he also misspells tons of stuff, adds spaces all over the place, doesn’t capitalize anything, etc
Yes, but that’s pretty standard for business people.
The ID10T encoding scheme
It’s encoding. I read a detailed explanation the other day, but can’t find the article anymore. = and =n\ are new line indicators that have been truncated by incompetent text replacement by the handlers.
I’m caught between thinking it’s a really stupid billionaire flex (interpret my unfiltered gibberish, peasant) and thinking he was actually just sub-literate.
This is why they think AI writing emails for them is revolutionary, isn’t it? Because they’re too fucking stupid to articulate a coherent thought.
